All about us ~ MC'ing or MC'ed or TTC after MC or just loves cakes!

[katendmom]

Ok, girls, our last thread did get crazy long so I am starting this one. If you don't like the name - well... too bad You'll get used to it over time .

ILTC, hi there sista! I feel like we're SO alike. Can you believe that my bleeding started again today? I was quite . And out of all places it started in a zoo when we were watching little sheep at the "petting zoo" section with DS and DH. Grrreat!~ Hope you're feeling better and this mess if over soon for all of us .

Rosybelle, hi there~ [sends a wave] Com'on over - sorry you're here but it's easier to get through things together. If you read my previous posts you know what I have to say - ERPC (or D&C) all the way. Good luck!

Scully, hi... you sound like me... actually my DH who is very much doubting TCC'ing again. And that's just after one MC! Well... we did have a stillborn DD1 but went on to have a beautiful DS. What would have happened if we got scared back then and didn't do it. Ooops, promised not to talk about it until mid-Oct. That's when my MC blood/ tissue results are back from the lab to tell us what was wrong with the baby. We agreed we wouldn't make any decisions until we find out.

Cricri, I know you won't be chechking this thread until later but hope your weekend in Holland is fab!

Hugs and smooches to all!

I'd say com'on over with us for July and then if you don't like that - then ok, you can get your August back

i got so sick of weeing on my hand i got myself a special cup hehehehehe was testing about 4 times a day so my hand was constantly wet and warm

ok july it is, i only have 1 july so i suppose another isnt too bad, better than 45 bloody augusts! I blame dp anyway so he pays for the birthdays damn him supersperm, they really are intelligent

45 i mean 4

rosy i need a kick up the arse

FFS ILTS - sort it OUT!!

LOL

i know lol its my keyboards fault honest, it like to make me look stoopid

Well I was a little shocked to know you had 45 birthdays in August - now that is blimmin good sperm .

Am losing a little red stuff today - just wee'd a clot out - nice - saw something in the loo and thought 'what the f... is that!?'

Kat - your nurse needs sorting out - can't believe you taught me to rant&rave and didn't give her a talking to!

WMMC - have cracked open a beer with you - only got Fosters in the fridge though. DH on nights all weekend - drinking alone V bad for me!!

Oh Rosy I soooo knew you were going to say that! LOL She took me by surprise and just started firing questions at me!

I am SO not listening to her though! And neither does my DH. He of course doesn't know that. He wasn't briefed on the "2-month-waiting-dealeo" Oh well, what he doesn't know won't hurt him, right? I can't risk it knowing how he was all worried thinking that we shouldn't subject me to what might potentially be another mc. Oh men, they're such babies! LOL

Listen girls, for a min, can I get you to look at something. I am worried about this girl (both for her physical and emotional well-being but physical more at the moment). It's a long thread by now. The gist is that she's pg with her DC3 and DH isn't too supportive. What worries me is that she has pains in her side that come and go... and now she's saying she doesn't feel pg. please take a look and see if you have any good advise/ support to offer for her? A few MNers expressed their opinion about her DH but I don't think that what she needs now... Thanks

ooh rosy clots are a good sign, well not a good sign but usually means things are on the way! Make sure your doped up with painkillers xxx

ILTS - glad its a good sign - really want things to progress so don't have to go in on Tues...
Sorry girls - you have all had m/c and here I am giving you a daily news bulletin on my current bodily functions... I'm sure you don't all need to go through it again so am going to zip it...

Kat (think i am only MN er to call you that!) - she is really going through it... I don't really know what to say as we are so desperate for a baby and this was our last chance (2 failed IVFs in last 12 months). I think her pain could be stretching - in the 1st 12 weeks the body's muscles stretch inside - I had ciatica (sp) up until we lost the HB, all down my left leg! Think she will have to hold on and hope DH comes round when baby born - but you sound like you're giving GREAT support just when she needs it.

DD just had her 1st full wk at school & teacher pulled me aside after school to tell me that she is settling really well,,, is the most calm, kind sweet girl in class and how proud I must be of her. Big tearful moment - must be my hormones dropping!!

May change my MN name to Proud Mum... whadathink??

Rosybelle - I know you said you didn't want to talk about mc but I agree with ILTS, it sounds like things are definitely progressing. Your description fits in with how it was for me anyway. Ask for a scan before your appointment on Tuesday if they haven't already offered you one - they'll want to check everything has gone. I was told anything less than 2cm they weren't worried about. Over that then they'd do the ERPC. As it happens the surgeon I saw was very much in favour of not interfering with mother nature, which I was very relieved about! In the meantime take the painkillers and maybe make up a hot water bottle?

Katenmom - that poor girl on the other thread... I feel so sad after reading her story. At least she's got people on MN she can lean on. It really sounds as though she should get to the doctor's before Monday, although at the weekend in this country it's nigh on impossible. Suggest EPU or A&E if pain gets any worse just to make sure it's nothing serious. If it turns out she's having a mc then she'll definitely have to get herself checked out.

Thanks girls. I didn't want to just invite her over (gosh, I am making it sound like R/L world, how sad is that?!) because her story is so much different and the way she's coming at it is at a different angle. You picked up on that Rosy right away.

My primary concern was about her having pains and all of a sudden not feeling pg. I really think that deep in her heart she wants this lo... It would break my heart to see her go through mc after what she's been through. She's very humble and feels almost guilty about her initial approach (especially when she talks to folks like us who are really hoping for a lo)... but I just feel like she doesn't have much support in R/L. Maybe I just need to back off. After all she is an adult. But thanks for taking a pick at the link.

Rosy I was grinning ear to ear reading about your little munchkin. I know how proud it made you and you SHOULD! Go give her a big huge hug and tell her that Katendmom (from America) IS VERY PROUD OF HER!!! Could you please buy her a special something on my behalf?!

Off to get some stuff picked up for dinner. Glad the work week is over. I'll make sure to catch up with you all over the weekend. Keep those BFPs coming!!!

Toodles

rosyyyyyyy thats what we are here for

Talk away we are here to support you not to tell you to shut up cuz we dont wanna listen

Rosy - don't be daft here's the place to talk about things like that as sometimes it's really difficult in RL. I would love to know that my experiences and what I have written down on here have helped someone else out. It does sound like it's happening for you now, rest up and take it easy, it's a rough time but you will get through it.

Hi Katendmom,

Sorry havent been keeping up with you, just wanted to say Hi and hoping that you are keeping well.
Glad that DS is okay, I'm sure that once he starts talking that you'll be wishing for even 5 mins silence!!
As for me I have good days where I have no tiredness or nausea and so feel I can do anything. Also have miserable days where I dont want to get out of bed i'm soooo tired or as soon as I feel the nausea starting I have eat, eat, eat - thats so bad as i've put on 10lbs in 4 wks.
On a positive note i'm having more good days than bad. Now only 13 days to wait for my 12 wk scan, still have worries as mc'd after 12 wk scan last time but keep telling myself 'positive thoughs'. DH starts a new job on tues (only temp but he's working), he lost his job a week ago.

Thats about it for now,
hope all is well with you, I will keep reading this thread to see how everyone is getting on - I've seen a few familiar names.

sending everyone good vibes and positive thoughts

Hello everyone - going out with DH for breakfast.

Flosspot - i know where you are coming from re the antenatal thread. When i get pregnant I won't be joining one until at least 16 weeks.

Have good Saturdays everyone xxxx

Just popped on to say "CONGRATULATION NH101" so very pleased for you and slightly jealous. Not long for me being able to try ladies. Looking forward to it. Take care of yourselves x

Thanks Sweetkitty & ILTS... things are not moving quickly & I didn't want to give you all a blow by blow account when you have all done it recently for yourselves!

How sad am I - on MN on a Sat night! DH is at work & DD staying at her Grandma's.. so here I am!! How are you all??

Hi all~!

Positive I am so glad you have come over and joined our virtual lounge. Plus you're one more BFP-good-charm here. Here ~ (katendmom hands Positive a big cup of peach tea).

Rosy don't be silly. Remember me? I was reporting out every single little thing. If it is helping you at all - please share. Yes, we have been through it just recently but that's the point!!! Now we're here for you.

Question guys - there is no way in the world that I could have OV just a wk after D&C, right? Last night I had the exact same twingles (is that a word?) in my lower abdomen/ groin area as I do when I OV... Must be something else, right?

katendmom i asked exactly the same question after my m/c it was like a funny kind of stbby pain on my right side, but i was told that every kind of twinge is normal during a m/c so im not sure i can answer you but i think sweetkitty said she ov'd during her bleeding? Sorry if ive got it wrong

Rosy so sorry its not going as quick as you would like it to cant mother nature be a total bitch sometimes

Morning...

I hope everyone is well

I am delighted to report arrival of AF following m/c 48 days ago!!! Testing BFN with no AF was driving me bonkers - so hoorah!

Except...

Not sure it is AF! Didn't test BFP last time until nearly 60 days and this bleeding is behaving more like the m/c (sorry if tmi - no blood except when I go to the loo to pee). No pain /discomfort. Was everyone elses first cycle different/the same?

kd73 my first bleed after mc was bright red, very lught and not much of it made it to the pad mainly just there when I wiped. It was such a releif when it turned up as I'm sure it is for you!

Hey lovelylou - nice to hear from you. Glad it's not long for you now x

Going for 3 - thank you had awful feeling that I was miscarrying again due to the similarites - glad to hear all is normal.

KD

Hi lovelylou, so good to hear from you! I am glad you are OK and looking forward to trying again. May your ttcing bring you all the luck in the world.

I took another test Saturday and it was darker, I think DH beleives it now cos on Friday he didn't think the line was dark enough. He doesn't want to tell his family yet cos his sister is going through IUI at the mo after nearly three years ttc. I know how hard it is to cope with other people's BFPs when you want it so badly so I agreed not to say anything as she and her DH were coming for dinner last night. My mum and three sisters (and a few of my friends who knew I was on Clomid) know already so we'll have to tell his family soon! Maybe tomorrow.

I got a leter from my gynae saying the blood tests came back fine so he said 'I am pleased to say we can progress with the Clomid' I already started taking it!!! But he definitely told me to start taking it after my next period which I did! Oh well...
